Brit Golf Dad breaks down how to successfully hit golf shots when playing from a front-foot-high uphill slope. He explains why standard advice often causes topped or pulled shots and provides key setup adjustments including spine tilt, club selection, and lead-foot weight placement.
Tilt your shoulders/spine perpendicular to the slope, but place your weight on your lead (left) foot to resist falling down the hill.
Select 1 to 2 extra clubs than normal because the uphill terrain adds effective loft to the shot.
Slightly open the clubface at address to compensate for the slope's natural leftward shot bias.
Narrow your stance slightly by stepping your high foot down toward the ball to maintain better control and ball position.
